Description

(2015), 11"x13", pencil on paper.

Took a brief break from my Tarot project to make another life-size portrait of Spike. This is from a really lovely hi-res shot where I wanted to see if I could actually capture the expression of his patented smirk.

It was fun to recreate the way his eyes scrunch up a little, forming all the laugh-lines around the edges and the way his lips get a little asymmetrical and his pointed chin elongates and accentuates. Kept the clothes and background simple so nothing much would detract from the expression.
